Hello everyone,

as a long-time Ikea customer, I have now failed for the first time at assembling the furniture.
What a defeat...

I have purchased a Faktum tall cabinet (195x80x35cm), with two 40cm doors and various high and flat drawers (Rationell). Now I am faced with the problem that I either cannot pull out the drawers because they hit the (open) cabinet doors, or if I adjust the doors so that the drawers can just barely be pulled out, the doors stand more than 1cm apart in the middle. That just doesn’t look good! What am I doing wrong?

It would be great if someone here could give me the crucial tip.

Thanks and best regards,
Carlos

You probably have the standard hinges. For Rationell drawers behind doors, you need the 153° hinges.

I was just about to say that! That's definitely what it is.

Thank you! That’s exactly it! I now have the new hinges installed and it works wonderfully. And I thought the friendly Ikea consultants knew what they were doing. Obviously not... Many thanks for your help! Carlos
